Back before Barry was black...

Back in the days before he met Magic Mike and became a professional black guy, ole' 'Barry' was a middle class white guy with a tan and an afro. Here he is, sporting a stylin' white sport coat, periwinkle tie and a big curly hairdo, former President Barack 'Who's sane' Obama is pictured in this 1979 candid photo arm in arm with his oh-so-white High School girlfriend and 'Prom date', Megan Hughes (the blonde on right). He signed his yearbook note to her "Love, Barry". Hakuna matata, amigo...

Waitress Arrested After Dumping Marinara Sauce 
on Karen Who Refused to Tip “On Principle”

Jacksonville, FL - Jacksonville police say 23-year-old server Leah Sanderson was arrested Sunday night after a confrontation with a customer turned into what witnesses described as “a slow-motion crime of passion involving marinara.”
According to diners, the Karen complained about everything from the breadsticks being “too fluffy” to the server’s eyeliner being “too distracting.” She sent back her pasta twice, told Leah she “walked with attitude,” and sighed loudly every time Leah approached the table. When the bill came, the Karen left zero tip on a $71 check and wrote:
“Tipping is optional. And tonight, I opt OUT.” Leah walked to the table, held up the receipt, and asked, “Was it something I did?” Karen replied: “Yes - you existed in my space.”
Leah stared at her, turned around, grabbed the large hot marinara container from the expo counter, came back, and in complete silence poured the sauce over Karen’s designer purse, letting it drip onto her lap. The restaurant gasped. One man yelled “WORTH IT!”
Karen began screaming for the manager while her husband tried to wipe red sauce off her phone. Police arrived to find Leah sitting on a bench outside saying: “If she didn’t want sauce, she shouldn’t have given me attitude.” Leah was arrested for disorderly conduct.

A birthday party they will never forget. Four boaters who were stranded atop a capsized 24-foot sailing vessel for 20 hours when a birthday fishing trip was turned upside down were rescued by the US Coast Guard 26 miles off the coast of Clearwater, Florida on Tuesday.
The four relatives embarked on a celebratory fishing trip from the Seminole Street Boat Ramp in Clearwater at about 9:30 a.m. on Monday, and anticipated returning by 4 p.m. after a day on the water, the Clearwater Police Department said.
When family members of the fisherman grew concerned that the group hadn’t returned, they contacted the Clearwater Police Department around 8:30 p.m. on Monday night, triggering a massive search effort for the wayward boaters. After 20 hours at sea, a plane from the US Coast Guard Air Station Miami located the capsized vessel at approximately 7:15 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Not only is this guy pretty much on the money in every one of his cartoons, 
it amazes me the amount of detail he puts in to his drawings...

Ya see? That's the thing about a lot of the cartoons in The New Yorker magazine. They're not exactly always funny, they're kinda uppity and smug-ish, and yet, more often than not, I kinda enjoy 'em. Maybe I spent too much time working in the City or sumthin'...

Voyager 1 is about to cross 1 light-day from home. A light-day is the distance light travels in 24 hours: roughly 16 billion miles (26 billion kilometers). Voyager 1, launched in 1977 and now traveling through interstellar space, is approaching this extraordinary milestone - a distance we once thought impossible for any human-made object to reach.
What does 1 light-day mean? Right now, when NASA sends a radio signal to Voyager 1, it takes over 22 hours to arrive. The spacecraft is so far away that even traveling at the speed of light, communication requires nearly a full day each way. Ask Voyager a question, and you'll wait almost two days for an answer.

  1. Notice it is always the left wing lunatics putting politics before family. You don't see signs "if you voted for dementia Joe, you're not welcome."

    I suspect it goes without saying that fermentation was involved in the Clearwater boating incident

  3. Worked as a dishwasher in a California restaurant during a working holiday decades ago. Watching waiters with their trays and what they were capable of doing to meals behind closed doors instilled in me an ethos that serving staff should all be treated with the utmost respect

Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

This house is about four blocks from my house, and, yes, it is a shithole. A Villager has been given one week to remove debris from his prop...
